In case you didn’t know, since we don’t always hear about contraception from the pulpit, contraception in many instances also acts as an abortifacient. This is one of the reasons the Church teachs against contraception.
How is this? In simple terms the birth control pill makes the lining of the uterus very thin and does not always stop ovulation. In cases where ovulation is not stopped eggs can be ferilized by sperm. The pill also causes a reduction in the thickness of the wall of the uterus. This means a fertilized egg, i.e. a human person, dies because it cannot implant itself to the uterus wall and is passed through in menstration. If you are trying to prevent pregnancy by use of the pill and sexually active you are undoubtably also causing fertilized eggs, i.e. human beings, to be aborted. You may not have known that until now but now you do, take action, stop the use of the pill in your marriage and get to confession. If your using the pill outside of marriage then you have other issues for another post.
